What an upgrade!!!
on January 16, 2017
Posted by: hyaforthewin
from Westchester, NY
Bought this kitchen faucet a couple months ago. Did the instillation myself. Instructions were very easy to understand and act out. Hardest part of the install was actually removing the old faucet! I did have one little problem right at the end when I was testing everything... When I switched from motion sensor mode to manual mode (turning a small twist valve at the bottom of the box you need to install under the sink), water started leaking big time from that valve. No problem though as you can take that whole valve out, I wrapped with plumbers tape around the thread and then screwed it back in...no more leak. It's been two months now and everything seems perfect. Love the upgrade from my old 3 handle to the single and the motion sensor works great. Love that you can turn on and off as well just by simply pulling out faucet hose and then retracting. My wife was super skeptical that a) I was going to be able to install properly and not cause a flood, and b) was going to work well enough that motion sensor was worth it. She is a convert and loves it just as much as I do! Great product, easy install and works flawlessly...definitely recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy installation, took 5min to 'learn' hands free

Installation was very easy, although the instructions were not amazing. Good enough to know what to do, buy we were left making some assumptions (sooo, do we not use the O-ring for three hole installation?). To finish the installation, we did have to purchase two water hose extenders from local Lowes, but I'm assuming this was unique to our installation.
The hands free operation is awesome. It's quiet, fast, and predictable every time. This faucet turned our otherwise dated kitchen into something from this century.

Beautiful Faucet!

This is the nicest faucet we have ever bought! It was very easy to install and the instructions were easy to follow. The hardest part was removing the old faucet!
We love the hands-free on/off. The motion sensor works great! We are completely satisfied with our purchase and have already recommended this faucet to friends.

Nice unit, small drawbacks
on January 15, 2017
Posted by: James from NC
from Charlotte, NC
I recently purchased this unit and installed it a few days ago.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Looks nice when everything goes together just right
- Love the motion sensing
- Quality feels almost as nice as the unit it replaced (other unit was 2x more expensive, so I can live with the slight decrease)
- Affordable

Cons:
- The install was a bit odd. I have installed many faucets before and they usually utilize a nut to secure the faucet to the underside of the counter. This unit features a wing nut looking thing that can only be tightened with your hand. It also has 2 screws on it, which look as threw they can go through the counter and into the bottom of the faucet, to hold it into place. When I first saw this, I thought to myself, "what I great idea! Instead of fussing with the typical annoying nut, I can simply hand tighten this, and then use the screws to fully secure everything together." I tried to do just that, but realized that there were 2 problems, 1) the screws are on the outer edge of the wingnut, which means that the standard sized hole that is in my granite is too narrow for the screws to go through and 2) the supplied washer covers the screws anyway, so there was never a chance that they would make it. I ended up hand tightening the wing nut as much as possible (I hope its not a pain if I ever have to undo it in the future) and then just screwed the screws up into the underside of the washer, enough to be snug.
- The re-tractability of the head is a nice feature; however, when it retracts, it goes 99% of the way back in by itself, but pokes out at a slightly odd angle. From what I can tell, this is not due to needing extra force or anything like that. Instead, it is due to the head only fitting back into the unit flush in 1 exact position. If it is even off a slight hair, it will not go back into the unit 100% and sit flush. To fix it, I simply have to readjust it with my hand and it takes less than 2 seconds, but I wish it would just go back in perfectly every time. My old (different brand, non motion) version was able to do it, so I know it is possible.
- Installing the battery box was a huge pain. I suspect much of my problem was due to all of the pipes etc under my sink, so you may have an easier time if you have more access. I do not hold it against this unit specifically, as I assume it would have been just as much hassle with any other brand (motion sensing). Once I got everything installed, the instructions then called for the batteries to be installed. This was a huge pain, as the battery holder has a very long cord which was difficult to put back in place, once installed (again, given that I had very little room to work with). I would suggest that you install the batteries and close the access hatch before installing everything.
- The water flow on this unit is roughly ~30% less than my previous unit it replaced. It is usable, but definitely a noticeable difference. The instructions reference a restriction in water flow could be due to a restriction in the filter within the battery box. I did not initially check that filter, because it was a brand new unit (so I assumed it would be just fine). I have not yet taken it apart to try and see if that remedies the problem. Again, it is usable as is, I just wish it had slightly more pressure (yes my water is on full blast beneath the sink and at the handle).

My list of cons may make this look like a negative review, but that is not the case. I am still giving it 4/5 stars. The purpose of my details in the cons is that it may help someone else avoid some of the things that I ran into during my install. I still highly recommend the unit, there are just a few things to be aware of.
